Hello,
I have a question regarding enclosures.
Our development plan states that enclosures are allowed and do not require a formal procedure in the following cases:
a) enclosures within the built-up area,
b) open enclosures without foundations and base plinths in rural areas, serving agricultural or forestry operations,
c) retaining walls up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height.
So, if we are interested in a fence or wall exactly 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high, does that mean we need to go through a formal process, including a building permit and structural calculations? But at 199 cm (78 inches), would it be no problem?
Or do you think the authorities might overlook it at exactly 2 m (6 ft 7 in)? On one side, the property borders a municipal lot, which is basically a street, and on the other side, a neighbor’s property. Of course, we would try to avoid any conflicts with the neighbor and comply with the height limit.
From where is the height measured? From the top of the ground to the top edge of the wall or fence?
What are your experiences?

I recommend quoting a longer excerpt from the development plan (verbatim) and, if applicable, taking a look at the neighborhood law (if such a law exists in Bavaria).

From my understanding of the text, the first post only indicates that a fence is permitted and exempt from approval procedures. It does not mention the allowed height (of a fence), unless agriculture or forestry is involved.That's correct: the height mentioned in section c) refers to retaining walls, not to the fence according to section a).

There must be somewhere that equates fences with walls. For example, in our building regulations, which would not make sense to treat them as the same.
